Virginia ComptonSmall business owner and Big Bear residentAs a longtime Big Bear resident, I am passionate about my community and the beauty it breeds. However, it's very fabric is unraveling as home sharing has encouraged a sudden surge in illegal vacation rentals. In a town with limited housing, the effects have seen residents priced out of the market and forced to relocate. Municipal disregard has done little to curb the housing shortage. If we work together, we can keep Big Bear residential. After all, this is a community, not a Monopoly board.
I'm currently studying to complete my Bachelor's degree in Political Science and hope to use my education to enact positive change within my community. |
